I cant say sitting here what solenoid you have so can only describe how a typical Ford type 4 terminal (2 big 2 small) solenoid works.
When in the "START" position a wire down from the IGN switch needs to send 12 votls to the solenoids small (S) Terminal (AND THE SOLENOIDS METAL CASE NEEDS A GOOD FRAME GROUND TO WORK) and the solenoid should engage click and pull in so she cranks.
The Ford Solenoids also have another small terminal labeled I which is hot ONLY WHEN THE SOLENOID IS ENGAGED. It can be used to by pass any ignition balalst resistor for a hotter starting spark in 12 volt tractors that use a 6 volt coil plus external ballast. Its (I terminal) not used if you have a 12 volt coil and dont use any ballast
Soooooooo insure the solenoids metal mount has a good frame ground,,,,,,,,,,,wires its S terminal to the IGN switch so when the switch is in START 12 volts is present
NOTE THIS IS FOR FORD TYPE SOLENOIDS if you have another solenoid let me know
